A 17-year-old pilot (飞行员) has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip on Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago.

Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.
Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s License (许可证) in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.
His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel (燃料) container.
Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Calf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U. S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
His sister Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight.
On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.
8. How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his flight around the world
A. At the age of 16 years old. B. At the age of 17 years old.
C. At the age of 15 years old. D. At the age of 19 years old.
9. Why was the plane changed before the flight
A. To have a faster speed. B. To have a lighter weight.
C. To have a longer flying time. D. To have an extra seat.
10. What were the feelings of Rutherford’s father when Rutherford was back on Wednesday
A. Unbelievable and respectful. B. Grateful and touched.
C. Sad and doubtful. D. Happy and proud.

D
Of all the unusual behaviors I was told to expect from my teenagers, their staying in their rooms for a long period of time was the worst for me.
Like many other parents, I, too, often thought that there must either be something wrong with me, or something deeply wrong with my teenagers when they suddenly wanted to avoid everyone in the house and the outside world.
What I didn’t know was that looking for solitude (独处) and privacy was perfectly normal for teenagers, and while you may think their wish for solitude is worrying, what is really happening is actually mentally (精神上) necessary.
A recent study in the Journal of Adolescence looked at a lot of possible causes of a teenager’s strong wish and need for solitude. What they found can make parents less worried about the troubling but actually helpful behavior. Researchers believe wanting and needing to be alone is just a matter of personal choice for teenagers, and that if that choice is out of their will, there is nothing to worry about.
“Solitude has always been seen as something detrimental to mental health, especially for teenagers who are thought to be unsociable or lonely,” said Margarita Azmitia, professor of psychology at UC Santa Cruz and co-author of the study. She continues, “However, sometimes solitude can help teenagers deal with mental problems. Developmentally, leaning to be alone is a skill, and it can make them refreshed and energetic.”
So when should parents get worried Researchers found if a teenager is forced to stay in his bedroom as a punishment or something, then this kind of solitude will cause problems. But when a teenager has chosen on his own to check out his life, so to speak, it serves as a much-needed break from the noise of life. In those cases, self-chosen solitude can provide a chance for self-examination or creative expression. So communication matters between teenagers and parents.
12. What did the author think about her teenagers’ staying in their rooms in the past
A. She was very worried about it. B. She thought it mentally necessary.
C. She thought it was perfectly normal. D. She really didn’t care about it.
13. What can we know from the finding of the Journal of Adolescence
A. Parents’ anxiety is totally wrong.
B. Choosing to be alone sometimes can be helpful.
C. The behavior of solitude is unnecessary for mental health.
D. Teenagers’ solitude has nothing to do with personal choice.
14. What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5
A. familiar. B. new. C. harmful. D. similar.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Many teenagers want solitude.
B. Forced solitude should be avoided.
C. Parents should not punish their teenagers.
D. Teenagers should communicate with their parents.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍一项研究发现，青少年选择独处是有益处的，独处有时可以帮助他们处理心理问题，在发育过程中，学会独处是一种技能，可以让他们精神焕发、充满活力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Of all the unusual behaviors I was told to expect from my teenagers, their staying in their rooms for a long period of time was the worst for me. (在我被告知要从我十几岁的孩子那里预料到的所有不寻常的行为中，他们长时间呆在自己的房间里对我来说是最糟糕的)”及第三段“What I didn’t know was that looking for solitude (独处) and privacy was perfectly normal for teenagers, and while you may think their wish for solitude is worrying, what is really happening is actually mentally (精神上) necessary. (我所不知道的是，对于青少年来说，寻求独处和隐私是再正常不过的事情，尽管你可能认为他们想要独处的愿望令人担忧，但实际上发生的事情在精神上是必要的)”可知，作者过去认为孩子待在房间是令人担忧的一件事。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“What they found can make parents less worried about the troubling but actually helpful behavior. (他们的发现可以让父母不那么担心这种令人不安但实际上是有益的行为)”可知，这项研究发现选择独处有时是有益的。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中画线词下文“However, sometimes solitude can help teenagers deal with mental problems. (然而，有时候独处可以帮助青少年处理心理问题)”可知，有时独处可以帮助青少年处理心理问题，画线词所在句与下文是转折关系，由此可推测，画线词所在句意为“孤独一直被认为是不利于心理健康的，尤其是对那些被认为不善交际或孤独的青少年来说”，detrimental意为“有害的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But when a teenager has chosen on his own to check out his life, so to speak, it serves as a much-needed break from the noise of life. (研究人员发现，如果一名青少年被强迫呆在卧室里作为惩罚或其他原因，那么这种孤独会导致问题)”可知，被迫独处会导致孤独问题，所以应该避免这种情况。故选B。

【37题详解】
考查谓语动词时态和语态及主谓一致。句意：例如，下棋于1999年被国际奥委会认定为一项运动。分析句子结构可知，设空处在句中作谓语。根据时间状语in 1999可知，动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，主语与recognize之间为被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动，且主语为单数概念，故填was recognized。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：第一节电子竞技赛事在上世纪70年代由斯坦福大学承办。分析句子结构及句意可知，此处应用非谓语形式，作the one的后置定语，the one代指上文提到的The first eSports event，hold与前面的the one之间为被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。故填held。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：越多越多的国家，像韩国、中国以及美国，都开始将电子竞技作为产业大力发展。An increasing number of sth为固定搭配，意为“越来越多的……”，且increasing的发音以元音音素[ ]开头，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填An。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：进入2000年以后，电视转播电子竞技比赛，像街霸、星际争霸和反恐精英，越来越受到欢迎。分析句子结构及句意可知，此处应用非谓语形式，作the games的后置定语，且提示词与被修饰名词之间为主动关系，应使用现在分词形式。故填featuring。

During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute” Mom said.
Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” she asked.
Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”
Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.
Paragraph 1：
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time
Paragraph 2：
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time. And then she wiped her eyes and started to clean her room. It took her two hours to clean up the room. “I did it!” she said proudly. She even found her missing shoe. She ran into the living room. “Grandma! Come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Emma’s room. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn’t have lost your e and have some sweets now,” she said.
Paragraph 2:
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home. “Well, look at Emma’s room! It’s clean,” her dad said. “How was the zoo Did you have fun I wish I could have gone there with you,” Emma said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go and see animals again,” her mom said. From then on, Emma tried her best to keep her room clean.
【解析】

I am Lucy, a 15-year-old girl from India and I think believing is a great power that can change anything in your life.

A 17-year-old pilot (飞行员) has become the youngest person to fly alone around the world. Mack Rutherford, who holds British and Belgian citizenship, completed his trip on Wednesday. He landed his small plane in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. That is also where he started his trip five months ago. Rutherford, who turned 17 during his trip, broke the Guinness World Record for youngest male to fly around the world. That record had been held by Travis Ludlow of Britain. Ludlow was 18 when he made his flight around the world last year.
Rutherford was born into a family of flyers. He earned his pilot’s License (许可证) in 2020, becoming the youngest pilot in the world at the age of 15.
His trip around the world started in Sofia on a plane owned by the internet company ICD Soft. The ultralight plane, called Shark, can travel at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Normally a two-seater, the plane was changed for his long trip by replacing the second seat with an extra fuel (燃料) container.
Rutherford first planned to make the trip in three months. But it lasted longer because of rainstorms, sandstorms and extreme heat. Most of the delays were caused by waits to get permits and other documents required for keeping with the flight plan. The flight took him through Africa and the Calf area to India, China, South Korea, and Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 straight hours in the air on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the West Coast of the United States to Mexico. Then he headed north again along the U. S. East Coast to Canada, and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.
His sister Zara, said she kept in close touch with her younger brother during his flight.
On Wednesday, a huge crowd of people welcomed Rutherford and celebrated his achievements. His father, Sam Rutherford, said he was extremely happy and proud of his children’s achievements. He told reporters that such an event helps show other children they should follow their dreams.
8. How old was Mack Rutherford when he started his flight around the world
A. At the age of 16 years old. B. At the age of 17 years old.
C. At the age of 15 years old. D. At the age of 19 years old.
9. Why was the plane changed before the flight
A. To have a faster speed. B. To have a lighter weight.
C. To have a longer flying time. D. To have an extra seat.
10. What were the feelings of Rutherford’s father when Rutherford was back on Wednesday
A. Unbelievable and respectful. B. Grateful and touched.

A. A scientific research. B. A guidebook.

Of all the unusual behaviors I was told to expect from my teenagers, their staying in their rooms for a long period of time was the worst for me.
Like many other parents, I, too, often thought that there must either be something wrong with me, or something deeply wrong with my teenagers when they suddenly wanted to avoid everyone in the house and the outside world.
What I didn’t know was that looking for solitude (独处) and privacy was perfectly normal for teenagers, and while you may think their wish for solitude is worrying, what is really happening is actually mentally (精神上) necessary.
A recent study in the Journal of Adolescence looked at a lot of possible causes of a teenager’s strong wish and need for solitude. What they found can make parents less worried about the troubling but actually helpful behavior. Researchers believe wanting and needing to be alone is just a matter of personal choice for teenagers, and that if that choice is out of their will, there is nothing to worry about.
“Solitude has always been seen as something detrimental to mental health, especially for teenagers who are thought to be unsociable or lonely,” said Margarita Azmitia, professor of psychology at UC Santa Cruz and co-author of the study. She continues, “However, sometimes solitude can help teenagers deal with mental problems. Developmentally, leaning to be alone is a skill, and it can make them refreshed and energetic.”
So when should parents get worried Researchers found if a teenager is forced to stay in his bedroom as a punishment or something, then this kind of solitude will cause problems. But when a teenager has chosen on his own to check out his life, so to speak, it serves as a much-needed break from the noise of life. In those cases, self-chosen solitude can provide a chance for self-examination or creative expression. So communication matters between teenagers and parents.
12. What did the author think about her teenagers’ staying in their rooms in the past
A. She was very worried about it. B. She thought it mentally necessary.
C. She thought it was perfectly normal. D. She really didn’t care about it.
13. What can we know from the finding of the Journal of Adolescence
A Parents’ anxiety is totally wrong.
B. Choosing to be alone sometimes can be helpful.
C. The behavior of solitude is unnecessary for mental health.
D. Teenagers’ solitude has nothing to do with personal choice.
14. What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5
A familiar. B. new. C. harmful. D. similar.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Many teenagers want solitude.
B. Forced solitude should be avoided.
C. Parents should not punish their teenagers.
D. Teenagers should communicate with their parents.
